flag UK may raise NHS drug threshold to avoid U.S. tariffs, align pricing with U.S. levels.

flag The UK is reportedly considering raising the NHS’s drug cost-effectiveness threshold by 25% to avoid potential U.S. tariffs of up to 100% on pharmaceutical imports, following threats from former President Donald Trump. flag The move, aimed at aligning UK drug pricing more closely with U.S. levels, would allow more expensive medicines to be approved for NHS use, increasing overall spending. flag The change comes amid concerns that current pricing pressures have led major drug companies to pause or cancel UK investments. flag The government says it is in advanced talks with the U.S. to secure a favorable outcome, emphasizing the importance of the pharmaceutical sector to the NHS and economy, and highlighting a new UK-US life sciences partnership.
